I Won a used 40GB Flashtrax XT on e-Bay it dowloads photos from a CF card ok But I bought it to use as a MP3 Player as well and I have had nothing but problems trying to download music files.for photos it is Bulkier than other offerings but it works well the large lcd screen is a bonus I bought it mainly for holiday use and to download and store images after a days shooting - But I am in dispute with the seller at the moment re: the Music download problem the music isn,t copyright protected so it should download ??

Bobity - do you need to go through software to load the hd? or can it be a hd plugged in via usb? If the latter, why d/l? or is it not playing tracks you've d/l ed?If the former - perhaps there is something in the software that checks the mp3s for drm stuff?

Edit:FlashtraxXT Found some info on flashtraxxt. Says something about only playing DRM files? May be it will refuse to play mp3s that aren't drm'ed...Other than that sounds like a decent buy - especially the reading raw.. .though is that as slow as on a pc..?
